“Game of Thrones” fans know Emilia Clarke as the Mother of Dragons. This weekend, they’ll see a different side of her. Emilia’s starring in “Me Before You,” a movie based on the best selling novel. And if you want to get your cry on this weekend, this is your movie.
Emilia Clarke is Louisa, a girl who lands a job caring for Will, a guy who had it all until an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.
As you can see, the accident also left Will pretty cynical, but he starts to warm up to Louisa. But be warned, you might want to bring some tissues with you!
Chris Van Vliet: “So everyone in the theater was crying last night – so congratulations!”
Sam Claflin: “I don’t know whether to say, “Yay,’ or, ‘I’m sorry.'”
Chris Van Vliet: “You know that’s what you guys want right?”
Sam Claflin: “Yeah, I think so.”
Emilia Clarke: “Yeah, yes it is. It is!”
Louisa gives Will the will to live again. Even as his health takes a dive.
They fall in love despite the obstacles, and Will opens up to her — reliving special moments in his life…
Chris Van Vliet: “Do either of you guys have a place like Will has for Paris where you close your eyes and you can still vividly feel that you’re there?”
Sam Claflin: “Yeah. My place is Hawaii, the island of Kuwaii. Yeah it’s like paradise to me. I don’t live there, but I will one day hopefully.”
Chris Van Vliet: “You do when you close your eyes.”
Emilia Clarke: “I’ve been traveling for so much and I’ve been away from home for so long — where my mum and dad live, the country side, there’s just a spot.”
Speaking of spots — the movie might hit that soft spot in your heart, but hey, there’s nothing wrong with a good cry. So we wondered…
Chris Van Vliet: “What’s the movie that always gets you?”
Emilia Clarke: “‘Stepmom.’ It kills me. It literally kills me, everyone looks at me like that.”
Chris Van Vliet: “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to laugh.”
Emilia Clarke: “It’s really sad.”
Sam Claflin: “So I’m just going to throw a new one into the mix, just to shake things up a little bit, ‘Forrest Gump.'”
“Me Before You” is in theaters Friday.
